[quote=BrianSwa]yea I could deal with break even.... As for what jimmy said like penguin said I expected some of the shit, again though he is free to make his opinion.

Brian, you got me wrong I am not giving you any shit, weve been around here for a long time some of us really do need a reality check and get our lives into shape, poker wont be our ticket to fame, it wont pay the bills, it can though cause alot of pain and stress and turn very ugly if not kept in check.

Some of us need to pull away from poker, think about what you done before we started playing online and see if we were better off. If the answer is that we were better off then change things. As I said we love poker but I also love other things that cost less and with better outcomes.

You asked us 3 questions but then quickley withdrew from your first option, I felt this is the option you want to take but are to scared to stop. Shit man I know its hard but then believe me for some of us its the only realistic option, take a year out learn the game enjoy some time doing other thing and look forward to a better time when you decide to return to plaing poker.

Ive started playing Bridge and BackGammon free online working my way up through the skill levels, I spend more time at gigs enjoying myself with my family, I do a little more overtime earning the cash for a trip or event and I have started saving more the past few months, give it ago Brian I feel its better than the starting over again theory playing low limits, players like JD and TP make a living from the players like us because they know how to play poker and dont just play poker.
